50 Best Italian Restaurants near Willowick

“Good food and service too.“

“You come here for delicious one-of-a-kind subs not the atmosphere as it's just a take out kind of place. The food is delicious and they have lots of your favorite comfort foods to choose from. Their stuffed mushrooms are popular and so is their Italian sub with pepper relish. Prices are reasonable for this type of food.“

“We went to Nonna Ts for the first time this weekend. From the moment you step into this charming restaurant, you’re greeted by the excellent staff and amazing aroma of the best Italian food I’ve had since moving to Ohio. The drinks, food and atmosphere is top notch and being greeted by Nonna T was the perfect addition to our evening. We will definitely be back and make eating at Nonna T’s a regular event.“

“Catering for Our Film crew was Perfect after a long day on Set!! Every dish was a celebration of Italy's culinary traditions, fresh, high-quality ingredients. The classic combination of ingredients was a snapshot of what Italian cuisine is all about. The Lemon Chicken, Peppers, Meatballs, Pasta and Salad were Perfection .... the team loved everything!“

Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, and our waitress was the sweetest and she even sent me home with birthday cake! 🎂 The food was amazing (10/10), and I ordered the Conchiglie Salsiccia Italiana, which was so good. Highly recommend Casa Rosa Cucina for great food and even better service!“

“Best Italian food in the area period! My famiIy has enjoyed many visits/celebrations there over the years and the food/service is always great! Nothing on the menu is a bad choice and definitely save room for desert. You can tell their food is made with love ❤️“

“The food was very good. I was a bit surprised that they don't grate fresh cheese here (and instead provide a shaker) since even Olive Garden does that. Also, the potstickers come in orders of four, which seemed stingy. Service was a bit lackluster. Our server had an attitude in particular; she left us hanging twice and muttered things under her breath walking past our table. And they were out of the dessert special that they offered us.

The food outweighed the lackluster service. Would recommend.“

“This place was awesome. Service, food and ambiance just what you’d expect in Little Italy. I had fusilla (spellcheck) puntenesca excellent!! We will be back.“

“great food and vibe.m.want more!!!“

“Pretty nice little Italian restaurant. Got the chicken parmigiana dinner to go with a canoli and it didn't disappoint. Came with a side salad and Italian dressing which was nice. The sauce is good spaghetti was good chicken and cheese was great. Lots of flavor and fresh. Decent portions. Canoli was tasty as well. I would recommend trying this place out it ain't too bad. Nice little outside area to eat as well. Glad I finally stopped by to try it out. I wasn't disappoint and I'll be back. 🙂“

“I had a wonderful birthday dinner with my wife on Saturday. The food was outstanding and the service even better! Jose brought me out a piece of tiramisu cake with a candle! Thank you everyone for adding to my wonderful birthday! We will definitely be back!! ❤️“

“My husband and I had lunch today for the first time at Scotti’s, and it was phenomenal! It will definitely become regular new spot for us. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Honestly, I would be satisfied eating just the bread with olive oil and vinegar and enjoying a nice glass of wine! The service was also super friendly! I’m looking forward to spending some time on their beautiful patio when the weather warms up.“

“Very low key but if you know you know. I caught the chicken parmesean special. The chicken was crispy and help up against the sauce. You also get a salad and bread. Everything was ok but the atmosphere wasn't really welcoming. It kinda reminded me of a scene in Goodfellows and the Sopranos. It looks like you could have easily ran into John Gotti!!“

“Simply the best pizza I've ever had. Superior toppings, great crust and consistent excellence for decades now. I find it unreasonable for me to go anywhere else.“

“The owners and staff are amazing and I’ve never had a bad meal there and one of my recent favorites is their chicken Marsala!“

“This was my first experience with this restaurant. First, they are NOT a chain restaurant, they are a scratch made everything, family run business.
The food is worth near any price, yet their menu is very reasonably priced.
Everything we ordered was excellent, fresh, and hot even after a 20 minute drive.
I highly recommend Trios. Cannot wait to return.“

“Our favorite family restaurant. The best in little Italy, hands down. we've been coming here for decades and it never disappoints. Angelo & his staff are top notch.“

“Tried Cuoco Bello for my first time tonight and it was delicious! I ordered the chicken parm for carry out and it was flavorful, a large portion size, and better than I had anticipated 😊 Just what I was looking for in a great meal! The staff was friendly and I can't wait to go back and try something else! Also, they have weekly specials so definitely check those out too! Highly recommend! 🍝“

“Took my wife out to dinner and everything from the moment we walked in the door was amazing! The hostess sat us and took our drink order and brought it over immediately. Our server Kim was fabulous! She was friendly and Courteous. Our food was amazing and portions were more than generous. Definitely a new staple in our dinner line up!“

“Food and service were excellent. I recommend.“

“We got a last minute reservation on a Friday night after a recommendation. We weren’t sure what to expect, and we were VERY happy! I had a delicious classic Paper Plane cocktail and hubby ordered a bottle of red wine. We started with frog legs as an appetizer…lightly fried, and so much garlic and lemon…perfection! I had the chicken pitta, my husband had veal parm (our server Tony suggested it as it would go great with the wine he chose). Both dishes were so plentiful we each took half home. The amount of artichokes and red peppers on my piccata was very generous, they don’t skimp on anything! We ended the night with Affogato and it was also wonderful. Bottom line is the whole experience was great! We can’t wait to be back in Cleveland and come back…don’t miss out.“

“First time trying it and it was good! Definitely will go back when I visit town again!“

“My wife and I drove from Wadsworth, Ohio for a 1st time dining experience Guarino’s today 5/30/26. . It will definitely not be the last. Being a pleasant sunny day, we were seated in their tastefully decorated & tree shaded patio. The freshly baked bread, Chicken Marsala & Braciola with pasta/marinara sauce sides were all excellent. Layla, our waitress, provided outstanding service.“

“Unique, fresh, and delicious! We will definitely be ordering from here again!“

“I ordered the spicy vodka pasta and it was delicious! My mom ordered the salad and that was also very good.“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This pizza place is an absolute gem. You can taste the difference in every bite -- from the perfect dough crust to the rich, flavorful sauce and the freshest toppings I've ever had. They clearly use only the best ingredients, and it shows. What really sets them apart is the passion of the staff. You can tell they truly love what they do -- every interaction feels warm, genuine, and full of pride for their craft. They even gave the children a behind-the-scenes tour, which was such a fun and unique experience! The children loved being able to make their own pizza. Learning about their sourcing made me appreciate their pizza even more. This isn't just a meal -- it's an experience. If you love pizza, you need to come here. I'm already planning my next visit!“

“We came here for a work trip and came to the bar to wine down and Bobbie Jo took care of us and beyond it! She was SOOOOO attentive and recommended the best drinks ! The hospitality was through the roof!! I’m not from here but I would DEF RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE TO COME HERE AND SEE BOBBIE JO!!!!“

I will gladly come back from NJ to eat here again! My compliments to the Chef and the staff. We now have a home away from home. As we Italians say GRAZIE TANTE! 🇮🇹🙏“

“The best pizza in Ohio!“

“After looking into every restaurant in little Italy we ended up choosing borgata bar and we are so happy we did! Everything was amazing. The owner and staff were wonderful the food was delicious. Everything was just perfect.“

“This location is absolutely beautiful inside. (A little chilly so bring a sweater) our server was wonderful and attentive. I only rated 4 stars on the food because I ordered mariners and somehow got the spicy sauce which was incredibly spice I might add. The server said there was a mix up with the cooks In the kitchen and she was very apologetic. All around a pleasant experience.“

“Guido’s is the best. The end.“

“Bring an extra stomach because you are going to want to try everything. Judy is an amazing server, even took our pasta we couldn't finish to the back to box it up. The next time we will get the pizza, and hopefully run on to Judy again“

“Simply the best pizza I've ever had. Superior toppings, great crust and consistent excellence for decades now. I find it unreasonable for me to go anywhere else.“
